The opening date for Bowls in Soho’s Saint Anne’s Court has been announced as 3 December. The menu will be seasonal, featuring a selection of bowls, big and small from the Caribbean, South America and South East Asia.
Bowls is the first restaurant from Russian born Zarifa Ragimova, who trained at Le Cordon Bleu London. Zarifa is launching Bowls with restaurant consultant Massimo Montone from Restaurant Keys whose previous projects include Sumosan Twiga, Aqua Shard and Rhodes W1.
Bowls will be filled with ‘Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Jollof Arroz a La Cubana, Quail’s Egg and Fried Banana’; Peruvian ceviche, ‘Tuna Poke, Avocado, Crispy Kale, Brown Shrimp Salt, Courgette Noodles’ and Southeast Asian-inspired dishes such as the ‘Zari- Pho’ - Braised Pork Belly, Homemade Broth, Soft Boiled Egg, Chilli, Thai Basil, Bean Sprouts, Spring Onion and Flat Rice Noodles.
Also on the menu will be grilled, ethically-sourced meat alongside super nourishing soups, the freshest salads and eye-rollingly delectable desserts.
Cocktails will also feature prominently and a range of signature sips have been created to pair perfectly with specific dishes, options include ‘Aloha Royal’ - Rhubarb Liqueur, Peychaud’s Bitters, Prosecco; the ‘#IncrediBowl Negroni’ - Campari, Appleton Blanco, St. Germain Elderflower, Martini Riserva Speciale Ambrato, Rubino, Cynar and the ‘Paloma de Damiana’- Espolon Tequila Blanco, Lime Juice, Damiana Botanical Tea. Prosecco will be available on tap so no excuses for not stopping by!
Ragimova commented, ‘It was big news that bowls were served to guests at the Royal Wedding but in many cultures across the world this is just the norm. I want to bring something to London that will become more than just a trend.... it will be the way we eat in the future. I want people to leave Bowls feeling satisfied, nourished and deeply contented, an experience that is good for the soul.’
